Planning for the upgrade of Avoca Drive in New South Wales has started with the first stage of the project now prioritised for delivery.
A joint $130 million investment, including $100 million from the Federal Government and $30 million from the New South Wales Government, will upgrade one of the Coast’s most congested corridors.
The priority first stage will focus on a one-kilometre section of Avoca Drive between Bungoona Road/Carrak Road and Joalah Road/Killuna Road in Kincumber, easing traffic and delivering safer access for road users.
The project will widen Avoca Drive to two lanes in each direction, upgrade key intersections, and include new shared pathways and bus stop improvements.

Community feedback will continue to shape the project, with the concept design and environmental assessment expected to be displayed for comment in early 2026.
Catherine King, Federal Minister for Infrastructure, said the upgrade of Avoca Drive has been talked about for years.
“This is about building safer, more reliable connections for the 26,000 motorists who travel this route every day, as well as the parents, students and local businesses who depend on it,” said King.
“The Federal Government is proud to partner with the New South Wales Government to deliver the infrastructure Central Coast communities have been waiting for.”
